Defense Against the Dark Arts: Spiritual Warfare 101.: Satan and His Allies (A Defense Against the Dark Arts #1)

Description

You don't have to be a Christian for long before you realize that we are opposed in this world by forces of darkness. Many do not experience the "abundant life" that Jesus promised because unseen thieves break in to rob, kill and destroy our joy, our hope, out inheritance from God.All around us is an invisible war fought by spiritual armies of immense power. At first, this conflict involved the angels of God against the demons of Satan. Once mankind was created, Satan the original terrorist, sought to get even with God by harming his creation - us. Humanity has been the focus of Satan's plots ever since then.The good news is that God has not left us unprotected. Through the Holy Spirit He has given us an array of weapons to use in our defense - weapons powerful enough to destroy enemy fortresses. The trick is that we have to learn how to use them for them to do any good.E. W. Finch, III in Defense Against the Dark Arts: Spiritual Warfare 101 Satan and his Allies explores the biblical foundation for dealing with the attacks from the world. the flesh and the Devil. The problem is that Satan, like a skilled magician, uses misdirection and deceit to overcome us. It requires training to see past his tricks and understand how he really works. Written in a practical "how to" format, the book explains the origin of the struggle and how to resist in the power of the Spirit.We are all born in a war zone. We do not have a choice in that. Our only choice is to choose which side we will fight on. Will we let Satan and his allies steal everything we have or will we fight? Will we choose Spiritual Welfare over Spiritual Warfare and give in? God has made us in his image and He is a Warrior. He has made us for just such a fight as this.
